WASHINGTON -- Offering an endorsement that will boost the likelihood of the reappointment of the Federal Reserve Board chairman, Vice President Al Gore said Alan Greenspan has provided "an outstanding, A-plus-plus performance."

Mr. Gore made his remarks to reporters during an appearance on Capitol Hill. "I'll send you the clearest signal I think is appropriate to send," he said. "I personally believe that no one could have possibly done a better job."
